No, but unless the plan is that no validation happens at all (which
I gather is not your desire) then there must be some mechanism for
figuring out which extension owns a given reloption and asking it
to validate the value. This might be more complicated than a passive
hook, but I don't feel bad about demanding that it work like that.
